Aerogarden and nutrient questions, pH and BUDS

I'm curious if you guys have ever used the Aerogarden Liquid Plant Food as nutrients and if so, do you also add pH down? I've used an aerogarden for years to grow herbs and lettuce and it kicked ass, so I tried growing a couple plants and they're going great! I just unhooked the aerogarden light and used a 1000w led. However, I'm always curious to know how to improve. Here are some pics. I have tried to mimic the aerogarden concept, just using 5 gallon tubs, so there's a pic of that as well. The aerogarden obviously was way too small for the plants, but they still killed I think for my first grow! Lmk what you think and how close!

Your led is first of all, not 1,000w. It's probably more like 150.

Yep, It's 185 or so. Regardless, it is what it is. I have two "2000w" (780 actual) in my 4x5 space, it's been plenty of light.

As I mentioned above, I'm looking for people who have used the Aerogarden nutrient product. Thanks!

Well, I think I can speak for the majority of the users here, that we have t used the tiny amount of Aero garden nutes that are supplied with it in their runs. Doubt you'll get what youre looking for. But, I could be wrong.

You can get gallons of it, that's not an issue. But, yes you could be wrong. I may not be able to speak for the majority of the users on here, but it's just a matter of science, my friend. You seem to be quick to criticize, but offer no suggestions, nor have you given any feedback on the photos. I'm just curious as to comparing their nutrients to those specifically made for this purpose. Thanks.

i have something similar to start seeds called a Prepara Power plant. same concept but no light.
the food that came with it basically renamed version of dyna gro grow.
have you researched more about the nute? who makes it? etc.

It's made by Miracle Grow, who bought Aerogarden a few years ago. I figure since they know what they're doing, the nutes must be good. The plants look pretty good. But the question remains whether or not it works as well as nutes specifically designed for cannabis.

Any suggestions on which nutes might be better and possibly more cost effective. I'm 38 days into my GG auto cycle FYI. Thank you!

that mix isnt' that bad honestly. probably would need cal/mg. but 4-3-6 is OK especially for veg.

the GH flora trio is a good set of nutes too if you want to try something else. i'm a big fan of most of the GH stuff. the floranova would be too thick for what you are using. the maxibloom is a dry nute and the cheapest.

Thanks I'll check those out! I hesitate to switch due to the consistency of the Aerogarden nutes, but they're not made for this, so I can prob maximize yield with something else during flower.
